CARL GRUNDSTROM - Right Winger - 21 - $.925MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 6/22/19
The key asset the Kings got in return for Jake Muzzin, Grundstrom has impressed scouts and coaches at every level he's played at. He plays with an incredible motor, and has a high defensive IQ as well as an ability to play physical hockey if the situation calls for it. He's no power forward, but he can reliably get more out of less from his body and stick to win board battles and fight for loose pucks. He's skilled at killing opposing chances in his own end and has the skating ability to be a plus player in transition. As his AHL and SHL careers have shown, Grunstrom has definite scoring upside but does not profile as a offensive star. He's more likely going to settle in as a versatile ~45 point scorer with around 20 goals and 25 assists per season in his prime. Combine that level of scoring with this proven ability to be a great player defensively, Grundstrom has all the makings of being a truly valuable 2nd line winger for a long time.
